Artists with Disabilities – Peer Support Group Session

Are you a Neurodiverse and/or Disabled artist looking for a supportive, welcoming space to connect, create, and share with others who get it? Come join us for our bi-weekly Peer Support Group at the Creative PEI office space in downtown Charlottetown. This group is a casual, peer-led gathering where artists can bring their full selves — radically unmasked.

Acknowledgement

We acknowledge that the land on which we operate is the traditional unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq Peoples. This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship” which Mi’kmaq Peoples first signed with the British Crown in 1725. The treaties did not deal with surrender of lands and resources but in fact recognized Mi’kmaq title and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations. We recognize that true reconciliation is an ongoing process. Acknowledging territory and First Peoples should take place within the larger context of genuine and ongoing work to forge real understanding, and to challenge the legacies of colonialism.
